As someone that plays both armies, I’m unsure whether I think Necrons or k sons are a more interesting depiction of ancient Egyptian imagery/themes

Now that the first one is done, time to get through the other four.

Thought I'd share my recipes here if anyone cares:

Metal Body:

1. Iron Warriors base coat

2. Rhinox Hide in all the holes of battle damage

3. Full wash of Nuln oil (try not to get too much into the previously mentioned damage holes

4. Relayer with thinned iron Warriors

5. Layer with thinned Lead Belcher

6. Highlight damaged areas with Mournfang Brown

7. Layer/Highlight with Stormhost Silver

8. Spot wash/streak with minimal Agrax earth shade, focusing around the damaged areas

Under skeleton;

1. Iron Warriors

2. Wash with Nuln Oil

3. Layer/Highlight with thinned Lead Belcher

4. Cover all over with Basilicanum Grey

5. Edge highlight with Iron Warriors

Skin:

1. Cadian Flesh Tone

2. Cover the "insides" and edges with Blood Angels Red/Sigvauld Burgundy/Contrast Medium (2:1:1)

3. Full wash with Targor Rageshade

4. Relayer Cadian Flesh Tone

5. Layer Cadian Flesh Tone/Palid Witch Flesh (1:1)

6. Layer Cadian Flesh Tone/Palid Witch Flesh (1:2)

7. Layer/Highlight Palid Witch Flesh

Ribcage Glow (which you can't see in these pics sadly)

1. Flood holes with white ink

2. Striking scorpion green

3. Use Contrast medium while the green is wet to thin down spots for more glow

Cartouche:

1. Black legion

2. Warpstone Glow

3. Layer moot green near the centre

4. Layer moot green/white scar (2:1) even more in center

Eyes/tubes:

1. Warpstone Glow

2. Dot eyes with Moot green

3. Glaze up to moot green on tubes

Base:

1. Stirland Mud

2. Full wash with Nuln oil

3. Heavy dry brush Standard Mechanicus Grey

4. Very light dry brush Corax White

5. Garnish with Army Painter Wasteland Tufts

6. Black around the rim

Since the Triarch Praetorians are our equivalent of Custodes, I thought of giving them a weapon in a similar vein as a Guardian Spear. What do you guys think?

So this is a sketch of my OC necron overlord. And I want to kitbash him using an indomitus overlord and/or Imotekh as a base and need suggestions of any capes on any models from any GW range that could be used to make the cape of his.

TLDR: Looking for a clean cape for indomitus overlord/Imotekh & I'm running out of ideas

Here's my first Necron painted, a Royal Warden for a painting competition at my local store. Theme was "green" and it didn't do too well with the popular vote but thought it might be appreciated here as I was extremely happy with him!

Im thinking like reds, blacks, whites, then highlights with greens and golds

Now I will preface this by saying I’m on a losing streak. However, I have played a lot of games and have found that we are in a decent space.

What I’m putting here to ask is simple: what are we playing and running that has worked and what hasn’t?

Second question, what secret trick of the trade are people using that you’ve found little others use but works well for you ?

Fun place to discuss those weird and not often used tactics to help us all get better ! :)

Added stronger highlights to the robe tonight - love how it turned out!

Third pic is before highlights.

New to painting and warhammer. This is my third model variant painted. Hope you like!

Never again...

So I have a resin printer and recently found some cool stl file for necron proxies and stuff and I wanted to hear the communities opinion on it

I am currently building up to my list and I realized that I really like the "endless legions" part of the necrons and not so much the "giant enslaved gods"/"mad killing machines" part of them: my preference is only thematic, but I would really love to be able to bring to the table a list that is somewhat viable without indulging too much on the destroyer element (also because a lot of detachment rules seem not to apply to them or to apply exclusively to them).

Thank you so much for any support, I'm still trying to figure out most of the stuff around here!

I am now at 18/19 models from the combat patrol painted! I had a lot of fun with this overlord and sculpting the flames around his head and the lava being drawn up into his resurrection orb

Only thing I've got left now is the Doomstalker and that will be my first ever box of minis fully painted!

Thanks for the positive feedback about my warriors last week.

Here are my three Skorpekh Destroyers which were nice to build and very satisfying to paint. Their stat line is really nice too!

(Scheme adapted from Kull92's Straukar but I wanted to make it simpler to help me get through more minis over time.)

I'm not convince for the spear, but I'll stop here.
